Exactly. 'Positive discrimination' is racism in disguise. Not only that, but it actually helps to FUEL racism and make it worse.
This is so far from true. Such a bullshit ridiculous statement. You need to take a logic class. You also need to do some research on what racism actually is.
Advocating getting rid of all the black people in your community so it's more white? == racist. Advocating getting more black people in your community so it's more diverse? == not racist.
Denying black people jobs even though they are qualified? == racist. Making sure that qualified black people get a shot at that job? == not racist.
I could go on, and then you could drag up some bullshit affirmative action example from the middle of the last century, but nothing will really change your mind anyway.
If Apple remove the proposal from voting then they will be attacked by the media and possibly the SEC. I would say include it in the shareholders voting material and get it over with once and for all.
No, it wouldn't get it over with once and for all. Activists that run around looking for reasons to be offended follow Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals. HRC did her thesis on it. Basically having the proposal come up in a shareholders' meeting where it will be defeated will result in escalation.
Dismal. Daddy the shareholder should've taught junior a valuable lesson about hard work and overcoming obstacles. Instead, the idiot pandered to his clueless child's wishes. Bad parenting!
Not every Daddy was around, nor was taught himself that lesson to able to pass it on.
I have over 5000 shares and I am interested in people who can get the job done....
don't get me wrong.. I am all for diversity, whether its color, race or gender, but, I am not interested in doing it to satisfy the teenage son of a minor stock holder.....

If you were having a life or death medical emergency (or even a run of the mill routine check-up) for you or your loved one, wouldn't you want the care given from the most qualified person?
Hiring based on anything other than merit makes me sad.
Wasting TIME and RESOURCES on silly diversity CRAP, instead of articulating the VISION of the company. This is an absolute FAILURE by Cook. Instead of voting for diversity I want to vote to FIRE COOK ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Guy is a waste of money. Paying him HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS and he has ZERO idea how to defend the stock price. FIRE HIS ASS IMMEDIATELY.
Tim Cook has no control of issues raised by shareholders.

Then you should be crying buckets because it went on for centuries, and happens still.

JFK surrounded himself with the best and the brightest. Tim Cook should continue to do so as well, regardless of skin color, ethnicity or gender.
That worked out well for JFK
Are you suggesting that JFK's approach of surrounding himself with the best and the brightest contributed to his assassination and that such an approach might lead to the same result for Tim Cook?
Truth is, there are people from every race and culture who are qualified for high-profile tech positions. So the golden questions is: "Why isn't Apple's leadership already diversified?"
This is the very definition of racism. Preferring one individual over another based upon race, rather than upon their qualifications.
Brings my stomach up.
You correct if it were a Utopian world. Bias correction however, is often required in most things, be it a professional quality lens or a choice made by mere mortals and is not necessarily a bad thing if done carefully.

Good news all round.
I doubt it.
